VOTE (special the chicken thanks you for your support of a special candidate who saved her life)
i have been calling on my personal opinions, asking people to vote for / against measures about which i feel strongly. and almost all are not voting. WHAT?????????? i am shocked and saddened that this is the response, but it seems to be common. excuses abound, and in this state absentee is legal for all. There is NO EXCUSE GOOD ENOUGH - ok, a couple maybe- i missed voting a few times in my life, my son was in hospital, my mom was dying, etc- Otherwise, i vote. Please, this year take your kids. Teach them the honor of voting. It is a wonderful thing, voting. We get the choice. US- the People- . But, there is no choice if you do not exercise your right to vote. Sometimes it is the lesser of two evils, Sometimes i really like a candidate! This year there is one in particular who i find an inspiration, and who helped me with questions concerning my beloved pet chicken. He took time to help me with a phone call i doubt he remembers, but he saved my chicken's life, and she is alive all these years after everyone else said she would die before her first hatchday. Vote- teach your kids- and VOTE!!!!!!!!!! and thanks to all who are running for making this process the democratic one it should be. It matters. It really really matters.

About
New Albany History
The Plain Township and New Albany area was settled in 1810 by Noble Landon, who moved to central Ohio from St. Albans, Vt.
Almost 30 years later, Landon and William Yantes of Maryland laid out the village of New Albany, which was centered around Landon’s tavern and inn on High and Main streets.
The village, which had a population of about 50, was chartered in 1856.
In the 1990s, local businessman and philanthropist Les Wexner moved to New Albany with the vision of good schools, recreational spaces and detailed community planning.
He formed the New Albany Co. to oversee land purchases and development to ensure a steady commercial tax base for the village and the New Albany-Plain Local School District.
Today, New Albany is home to over 7,000 people, and Plain Township has over 800 households.
The New Albany Business Park hosts some of the nation’s biggest companies, such as Abercrombie and Fitch, Tween Brands, American Electric Power and Commercial Vehicle Group.
The New Albany-Plain School District, which covers 26 square miles of New Albany, Plain Township and a portion of Columbus, has been rated “excellent” by the Ohio Department of Education for the last three years.
